Canopy Structure
With a hot climate like Miami, measures must be taken when designing paths through the site that will have pedestrian traffic and exhibits on display, as well as interior spaces that are temperamental to temperature and light. Carefully placed apertures can contribute to this, as well as an exterior canopy that protects interior, open air paths through the site.
The canopy drapes over the building mass, enclosing exterior spaces and creating shelter from the sun and the rain. It is a mix of ACM aluminum paneling with fire resistant, non-combustible core and a glass canopy with insulated glass with aluminum mullions and gutters wth drainage throughout the structure.
